September 14th and 15th marked the kickoff of SDSU and BHSU college rodeo seasons! The teams made a trip to River Falls, Wisconsin where they competed in the first of four Great Plains Region rodeos scheduled for the fall season. The Great Plains Region consists of 14 college teams from Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Those teams will compete against each other again in a series of rodeos in the spring. Points are earned at each of these regional rodeos, both individually and for the team, to qualify for the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) in Casper, Wyoming, June 11-15, where qualifiers from all regions compete for a "Championship Title".
Both South Dakota schools represented the state well to start the season off. SDSU's men's and women's teams finished first and second, and BHSU's men's and women's teams finished fourth and third, respectively. The teams have a couple weeks off, but will have a full weekend of more rodeo action soon. They compete in Fort Dodge, Iowa, October 4th and 5th and then in Aimes, Iowa, October 6th and 7th.

Soo excited for college rodeo :)
I didn't realize BH had such a good Rodeo team. Are their any standouts from either SD team to watch?
